A tech-saavy cyborg with too much time on her hands. A quick-thinking detective with a fascinating new case. A mad scientist on the verge of a groundbreaking advancement.

A young girl wants nothing more than to lead an interesting life, but is constantly faced with empty time and incessant boredom. When she turns to computers to pass the time, she quickly finds herself entangled in a world of less-than-legal programming, soon earning a reputation as an exceptional hacker. When she discovers someone else with a mind like hers, it doesn't take long for her to become preoccupied by the mystery of him, and she longs to find out his identity. Unfortunately, a clever international detective is a little too determined to track her down, and a scientist with a disregard for ethics has other plans for her, involving an experiment that he believes could revolutionize humanity, but at what cost?

Three people, three stories, three obsessions, intertwined in this sci-fi tale set in a cyberpunk-inspired world in the year 2120. 

What do teenage hacker Kalix Raven, UNBI Agent Rachel Cassanova, and Dr. Rovart Blayne all have in common?

They're all a little obsessed.

Sentilia by ChristineParentBooks

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

Echoes from Arcadia - A Life through the Mists by Solarcadia

Amid the mists of memory and time... Sophie, a legend with a haunted past and a tormented soul, recounts her youth to Jessie, a fourteen-year-old who idolizes her. Caught by the wake of a glorious shipwreck of a life she left behind, Sophie is pulled decades into the past-back to her first mission on Venus. Codename: Zephyr. A mission holding the keys to saving the present... and perhaps, at last, to imagining a future. Seemingly simple, this assignment drags a reckless young woman-who thought herself indifferent to the world-into the labyrinth of corporate conspiracies, among ordinary lives struggling simply... to exist. Gentle or brutal encounters, hopes and disillusions, a fate already marked-perhaps even written-or just a life drifting through the void that gnawed at the solar system long before Arcadia. "Shine brighter than hell, Sophie. It's all we have... once we've already sold our souls." - Nexa Ashfall Cyberpunk, space opera, and melancholy: an odyssey between two worlds, told by a heroine who has lost everything... except the hope of saving the ones she loves. This time.

Hacking the Sun - The Re-Remake by NineLight

Jessica Leibniz tried to be a normal teenager, but unlike most teenagers in the 22nd century, she can tell time without a clock. So what good is a watch... unless it comes with incriminating A.I? It's part of a fashion sense that involves 1980's nostalgia, nerdom, and rebellion. Otherwise, you have a normal, nineteen-year-old delivery girl by day and freelance hacker by night. Everything else is unremarkable in a future where aliens rule the planet. After assimilation in the 21st century, which could have ended more violently, Earth has become relatively peaceful and technologically efficient, so they say. Corporations still reign supreme, except a new species sits at the top of the social ladder. These overlords have constructed a new kind of city in the web of planetwide sprawl. Eden: a modern megapolis. Jessica has learned to embrace Eden and its challenges. Without a cause, she confides in three friends or smacks into boredom. But when she seamlessly cracks an uncrackable security algorithm, nothing makes sense, and boredom gives way to danger. Hacker life takes to the streets, and beyond, in a desperate flight from the world's most powerful corporation. Faced with conspiracy, tragedy, and a new life on the run, normal is no longer an option.

The Unexpected by 1800SlapAHoe

Tyler and Mia have been best friends since elementary school. They've been through a lot together, including giving each other their first kiss and Mia losing her virginity to him. That night changes everything and Mia finds herself struggling to maintain their friendship. She tries to move on but Tyler is always there. He doesn't want to be with her but he doesn't want anyone else to be either. Throughout her struggle, Mia learns more about herself and meets many new people. But will any of that matter if she loses her best friend? "What is wrong with you?" Mia asks in disbelief. Tyler sighs, crossing his arms over his chest. "I don't do relationships. You know that," he replies, shrugging slightly. Mia contemplates what to do. She has two choices: 1.) Walk away and never look back, meaning she'd lose him. Or 2.) Forget anything ever happened and allow him to continue walking all over her, meaning she wouldn't lose him. Either way, she'd be the one getting hurt. "Then I don't 'do' this friendship anymore. Goodbye, Tyler." {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

"Sparks & Steel: Jinx in Detroit" A Robocop x Arcane Crossover Story by Chris9417

After a catastrophic misfire in Piltover, Jinx finds herself ripped from Zaun and thrown into a dystopian Detroit-a city on the brink of collapse, ruled by crime and corporate greed. Here, Omni Consumer Products privatizes the police force, and a cyborg law enforcer named RoboCop walks the streets, a machine of justice in a world teetering on chaos. Thrown together by circumstance, Jinx and RoboCop form an unlikely partnership: chaos and steel, sparks and precision. As they battle rogue operatives, criminal networks, and lingering shadows from both her past and his corporate overlords, the duo fights not just to survive, but to restore hope to a city that has forgotten it. From explosive street battles to quiet moments of reflection, Detroit becomes a new home for a girl who once thrived in chaos-and for a lawman learning what it means to protect with more than just cold metal. Will Sparks and Steel be enough to save the city, or will its shadows finally consume them both?

Another conspiracy, however, has seemingly taken root. To combat a hacker, you need another hacker. Unfortunately, they are a dime a dozen, and Jess has to navigate new circles of the underworld to quell the growing friction between aliens and humans. This time around, she's going to need more than a gravity board and forbidden AI. Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she's thrust headfirst into the fires of cyberspace and reality. Unbeknownst, the greatest threat doesn't lurk in the shadows or around the corner. It comes from the sky.
